- What is TubeSalt?
- TubeSalt is a thumbnail creation tool made for YouTubers who care about the craft. From your first idea to a finished thumbnail, it helps you shape the look of your video in a way that feels true to you—not just what the algorithm wants. No clickbait templates. No soulless automation. Just an honest tool to help you show up better.
- How is it different from Photoshop or Canva?
- TubeSalt saves you the hours you'd normally spend learning layers, masks, plugins and prompts. Instead, we present a workflow that helps you get from script through final thumbnail using prompts and tweaks. Want your face in the thumbnail but don't feel like taking new photos? We've got a custom-trained AI model that learns your look. You direct the vision and TubeSalt removes the friction.
- Who is TubeSalt for?
- If you make videos and want your thumbnails to match how much you care about the content, TubeSalt's for you. Doesn't matter if you're just starting or uploading your hundredth video. We've built this for creators who want more control, less busywork, and results that still feel like you made them.
- What can I create with TubeSalt?
- You can create custom thumbnails and thumbnail-ready visual assets that match the tone, idea, or story behind your video. It's not about doing everything for you—it's about helping you do what you already know matters, faster and more creatively.
- Do I need to connect my YouTube channel?
- Nope. TubeSalt doesn't ask for access to your channel. We trust that you know what you're making and why. We're here to help you bring the visual side to life, not track your data.
- Do credits expire?
- Nope. Use them whenever you want. As long as your account is active, your credits stick with you. No pressure, no reset button, no additional cost for rollover credits.
